Anticipated expansion
If you feed the audio signal directly into the KEY RETURN input and send the audio signal through a delay
before the audio input, the BEHRINGER INTELLIGATE can anticipate the need for gain change. With
experimentation, the effect can create a “zero” attack time at a given frequency. Additional delay beyond this
“zero” attack time, will produce a special sound effect, similar to the dynamic-envelope inversion you may
already be familar with from reverse tape playback.

Triggering additional sounds from a rhythm track
This technique is used to give a rhythm track more “punch”. For this purpose, the Expander section of the
INTELLIGATE is required. The bass guitar track is connected to the audio chain of the BEHRINGER
INTELLIGATE, whilst the bass drum is connected to the KEY RETURN input. By activating the KEY EXT
switch, the bass guitar is now triggered by the bass drum.
Another application allows the sound of the bass drum to be supported or extended by other instruments
(synthesizer etc.), where the bass drum is used to trigger a new sound, which is then mixed into the track.
